imo completely different dies

Sanya ... the main beading (in yellow) is the same as all 4 productions dies are from the same production master .
All orange circled corners are probably done by the same engraver but still a bit different each time he does them ... be it in shape , size , angle or tilt .
Corners are finished on each frame die separately . Frame 3 and 4 are showing corner cracks transferred from the production master .
Frame 4 showing the most copied flaws indicating the master is getting close to the end of its usefulness .
4 different production dies using the same master .

IMO these flaws only a in manufacture occurring
position difference the tool has moved
and IMO therefore thicker or thiner the pattern .
The inner corners too for me ,always same ,
but there too possible see same different.
